Each lick contains a "Source Code" tab to make it easy to copy it to your web page. If you want a particular lick to appear on your page click on the lick image with the left mouse button. The options menu will appear. Go to the "Source Code" tab and copy the text in it. All you have to do now is paste it on your web within a div tag with the class "bopland".

Types and patterns

Each lick should be prefixed with a type and a pattern telling the compiler which syntax to use and what type of lick it is. Type defines staves with clef, while pattern is used to enable filtering of licks by their purpose like "walking line" or "voicings" after the lick is saved. Valid types and patterns are listed below.

Types:

treble clef

bass clef (or bass)

piano

guitar

guitar tabs

Patterns:

solo (or lick)

comping

voicings

walking line

unaccompanied

A valid prefix is obtained by joining type and pattern together, e.g. treble clef solo, bass clef walking line, guitar voicings etc. This can be used to move a lick from one clef to another. Take the following lick as an example.

Tempo and swing

Playback tempo can be controlled by putting tempo N after lick prefix, where N is an integer number standing for number of quarters per minute. The following lick is played pretty fast - check the Source code tab:

All licks are swung by default. If you want to change the amount of swing - put swing N after the lick prefix, where N is integer number denoting amount of swing per cent. The default value is 20. The two licks below are played with swing 0 and 99 respectively.
